How Does Identifying uptrend and downtrend Work?

Identifying uptrend and downtrend is like watching a rollercoaster go up or down, you just need to know which way it's moving.

Imagine you have a toy car that moves along a track. When the track goes up, your car climbs higher, this is an uptrend, like when something keeps getting better and better. For example, if you get 1 candy on Monday, 2 candies on Tuesday, and 3 candies on Wednesday, it's going up, just like the toy car climbing a hill.

Now, if the track goes down, your car rolls backward, this is a downtrend, like when something keeps getting worse. If you had 3 candies on Monday, then 2 on Tuesday, and only 1 on Wednesday, it’s going down, like the toy car rolling downhill.

Sometimes, the track might go up and down, just like how your mood can change from happy to sad and back again. But if you spot a pattern of going up or down more than once, that helps you know whether it's an uptrend or a downtrend.

So next time you see something moving higher or lower, think about the toy car, you’ll be able to tell if it’s going up or down in no time!
